Re: DS18B20 Temp sensors stopped working
I can do that. Should I order the 4.7k Ohm Resistor?

I would try anything you have around (if you have something around) before you order anything.cvachon79 wrote:I can do that. Should I order the 4.7k Ohm Resistor?
Anywhere between 1k and 5k preferably.

Re: DS18B20 Temp sensors stopped working
I ordered a pack of 4.7k Ohm Resistors on Amazon.
I added resistors on the 5V line and DATA line. Voltages did no change (I took measurements with and without a sensor connected). I also added a resistor on the GND line and it made no difference.
GND and V lines = 5V
GND and DATA = 1.3V
V line and DATA = 3.8V

After trying the 4.7k resistors I had no luck... any other advice? I'm hoping that module in the GEM is not dead.cvachon79 wrote:I ordered a pack of 4.7k Ohm Resistors on Amazon.

Re: DS18B20 Temp sensors stopped working
With no power applied, there should be about 5k ohms between GND/Data. Can you check that with your multimeter?cvachon79 wrote:After trying the 4.7k resistors I had no luck... any other advice? I'm hoping that module in the GEM is not dead.

With the unit disconnected from the wall (both power supplies) I measured 2.33k ohms between GND and Data.ben wrote:With no power applied, there should be about 5k ohms between GND/Data.

Without anything connected?

It sounds like with the lightning the port that controls the 1-wire was damaged.
Does everything else work?

Correct - nothing connected including the pull-up. I have not noticed any other problems with the GEM.ben wrote:It sounds like with the lightning the port that controls the 1-wire was damaged.

It's possible to have just fried the one port without it affecting any other functions of the GEM.cvachon79 wrote:Correct - nothing connected including the pull-up.
